Tis the season to be jolly....busy

from w
Although most of the activities lately haven't been directly related to Christmas, it certainly has been busy. Today the small booklet I wrote on the history of our local church was launched at the 50th anniversary of laying the foundation stone for the main buildings on the East Geelong property. About a hundred people attended in the morning - worship and morning tea and birthday cake, and a large crowd in the afternoon with plenty of catching up with old friends, historical displays and five laptops running with DVDs or photographs and a splendid afternoon tea and another birthday cake! The cover design of the book was kind-of designed by a committee after my initial design was hijacked. I wanted just the mosaic of people and larger print for title, but anyway, the job got done - pages in full colour, excellent quality paper, and hopefully only tiny mistakes! Peceli very kindly spend the day with us in East Geelong instead of going to Altona Meadows/Laverton church, and as he had been a minister here for nine years he was able to meet many people he knew.
